I have seen a post, I should have bookmarked it, where someone was expounding that "true blue conservatives" were so upset with Republicans that they voted for the Dems and are happy that the Dems won.
Now what kind of conservatives are these?!
That was just one of the most outrageous ones, but I have seen plenty of others who seem upset that I am proposing that the Republicans need to figure out a win strategy for 2008 now. They keep saying that winning is not what's important.

I have seen you post stuff like this before, an allegation you somehow now can't back up but make it anyway,, Priceless! ..
now that is the old FO we're used to. whew.. almost had me thinking they replaced you on the account team.
It wasn't a big percentage of Republicans who were so demoralized they didn't vote.
I estimate it was about 5-percent.
But that was enough to give the win to many Democrats in close election, of which there were many in 2002, 2004, and again in 2006.
My Republican congressman got 55 percent of the vote in 2004.
On Tuesday, he got 49.5 percent.
While I think planning for 2008 is admirable, I don't think it's going to do any good. One of things I tried to get the "conservatives who were mad" to do was to think exactly what the Democrats are going to certainly do in the next two years.
With them effectively in control of the government (W won't veto), they will control the money, power, and election process for 2008. In other words even if our 2008 planning would be effective and could win, it won't win because our planning assumes fair elections, which 2008 and after will not be.
